Description
The London & Middlesex Local Immigration Partnership (LMLIP) invites you to a powerful Video Sharing Circle featuring Part 3 of the "They Came for the Children" series, titled "The Residential Schools".
This 25-minute film offers an in-depth look at the history of the schools in the first voices of 7 Survivors and offers a comprehensive view of life at the Residential Schools. It features insights from respected Indigenous leaders, scholars, and community members. Following the screening, our Indigenous presider, Gloria Thomson, will lead a sharing circle. This is an opportunity for attendees to reflect on the content, be called upon to share their thoughts, and engage in meaningful dialogue about our shared history and responsibilities.
Key topics covered in the film:
First-hand experiences and testimonies of Residential School Survivors
The role of government and churches in the Residential School System and its impact on Indigenous cultures
Long-lasting effects, including intergenerational trauma and the "Sixties Scoop"
Whether you're new to Canada or have lived here for generations, this event offers valuable insights into the country's complex history and the ongoing journey towards reconciliation.
This event is part of LMLIP's ongoing commitment to fostering understanding, inclusion, and civic engagement among all members of our community. We encourage both newcomers and long-time residents to attend and participate in this important conversation.
